Answer:

of course. Business have obligations and duties towards many parties. we call these people "stake holders". in other words, they are either interested in the business and activities or are effected by the business activities.

for an example, the community and the environment the business operates in are stakeholders and the firm has responsibility to ensure an environmental friendly production and practices are carried out by the firm.

Government and tax authorities are another example. firm has to make sure that the required disclosures are made and proper taxes are paid timely.

Potential investors are another example, the company has to make sure that they disclose all the relevant and material information that may give signals about the companies future and its direction.

kicyunya [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Debt = D ÷ (E + D)

= 0.8 ÷ (1 + 0.8)

= 0.4444

Now

Weight of equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.4444

= 0.5556

As per Dividend discount model

Price = Dividend in 1 year ÷ (cost of equity - growth rate)

40 = $2 ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.06)

Cost of equity = 11%

Cost of debt

K = N

Let us assume the par value be $1,000

Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon) ÷ (1 + YTM)^k] + Par value ÷ (1 + YTM)^N

k=1

K =25

$804 =∑ [(7 × $1000 ÷ 100)/(1 + YTM ÷ 100)^k] + $1000 ÷ (1 + YTM ÷ 100)^25

k=1

YTM = 9

After tax cost of debt = cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)

= 9 × (1 - 0.21)

= 7.11

WACC = after tax cost of debt × W(D) + cost of equity ×W(E)

= 7.11 × 0.4444 + 11 × 0.5556

= 9.27%

As we can see that the WACC is lower than the return so it should be undertake the expansion

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (252,000/30,000) + 2.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.5 per machine hour

Job T687:

Number of units in the job 10

Total machine-hours 30

Direct materials $ 675

Direct labor cost $1,050

Now, we need to allocate overhead and determine the total cost:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 10.5*30= $315

Total cost= 675 + 1,050 + 315= $2,040

Finally, the unitary cost and selling price:

Unitary cost= 2,040/10= $240

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Answer:

The correct answer is to put the two variables in the same type of measure.

Explanation:

To begin with, in order to compare to different variables that are in different measures the correct way to proceed is to put them in the same measure so therefore they will be comparable with each other. Once said that, in this case the person should put the psychological benefits in economics benefits as it is the other variable and in order to do that the person should think of what aspects of his productivity would increase if he takes the vacations and gains the psychological benefits. For example, after getting back from the holidays he may feel himself less stress and more relax and therefore that he may be able to either do more job, more studies or more excercises and all that can impact in an economic way.
